UB’s athletic department recently announced plans to begin building a field house on campus. The facility will be a total of 92,000 square feet and cost $18 million. It will be located just past the north end zone of UB Stadium. The athletics department announced Sept. 15 that LeChase Construction would be the contractor on the project. The architect will be CHA, a company based in New York. The project will be paid for through philanthropy and football revenue, according to the press release.
Construction will begin next month with completion expected to be in spring 2019. The facility will feature a full-sized football field.
